Additional items may be added on an event by event basis and dictated by tour personnel

Parking Lot Policy

The parking lot opens at 4:30 PM for most evening shows. Guests are allowed to tailgate/picnic before events. Alcohol is not allowed in the parking lot due to local township ordinances

Cameras

The camera policy varies from show to show. No 'selfie sticks' are permitted. The Palace of Auburn Hills does not have a policy prohibiting cameras; however, many artists do. When an artist requests a 'no camera' policy, it will be adhered to by our staff. Call 248-377-0100 on the day of the show to check the artist's policy.

Smoking Policy

In observance of the “no smoking” law which went into effect May 1, 2010, guests, employees and visitors are required to comply with the new Michigan law. It is illegal to smoke or use tobacco products anywhere within The Palace including in its restaurant/bar areas and former cigar/smoking rooms, suites and restrooms. Outdoor smoking policies will remain the same.
